The alcatel 1x is a 2018 ultra-budget smartphone running Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition, featuring a 5.3-inch FWVGA IPS display and MediaTek MT6739 chipset with 1–2GB RAM and 16GB storage. Despite the entry-level tier, it includes NFC and an 8MP autofocus rear camera, with select regional variants adding a fingerprint sensor and a 13MP camera — making it a surprisingly capable bare-bones option for sub-$100 budgets.
